Oh okay, well then I will wait next week because it's going 4 weeks next week. Hopefully I will get my passport before december as I have to get a plane ticket with the same flight with my parents (they got their tickets already) Thank you so much. Have a great weekdays!

I mean by restart is the processing time, does it go back from the start again of 6-8 weeks? because some said it will continue the processing where they left it after sending me the letter for additional information. And some also said it will restart the processing.

Does the processing restart?

Hi I applied for a new US Passport on July 24 2024 then they received my application on July 29 2024 then I received a letter asking for more additional information 3 times which I was struggling to find that's why it took for months. The last document I submitted was our lease agreement and my father's tax document for a proof of legal and physical custody of my US parent. So I sent it october 26 2024 then they received it October 29 2024 and my application status changed from additional information to information received, in process again October 30 2024.. it's been 2 weeks + since then and I never got a letter anymore so I was wondering, how long does it take to get approve of my passport and does the processing restart? I have my upcoming trip on February 2025 and my Green card also expires on the same month. I actually really scared, given the fact that Trump won and they have plans already so im scared that the processing will take longer now and my passport is still processing I got here in legal way by the way and so as my father but this thing still scares me. I applied with routine by the way. Do I have to call them and pay for expedite? or do i have to call my senator for help? Thank you.

*UPDATE I applied my american passport yesterday’ and they got my green card from me so hopefully they will approve my application. Thank you guys so much!

also my sister and I are the same when we got here…we’re both outside the states when my dad got his citizenship’ we’re also both green card holder and when my sister and I applied a passport they got our green card. And were both minors when we got here. Just like what I’ve said the only problem is my late registration of birth cert. not unlike my sister her birth cert. were all correct that’s why she got her american passport for 5 years and she renewed her passport last 2022 for 10 years.

really? eventho I’m part of Act 2000 as what the immigration lawyer said last week when I talked to him. I am asking again here because i didn’t get back to Lawyer Armando after that talk because I still need to aak for more option (and less pay actually 😭)

* And oh my father became a U.S citizen after he passed his interview year 2013 and we got here in the states year 2015 (i was 17 that time) 😊🙏🏻

I will keep this in mind. Thank you

but can I still the do the other option right? the only reason I didn’t get my passport before is because the birth certificate I submitted was late registered and I didn’t get the chance to submit the other documents included in my birth cert. And the thing is if I apply for a certificate of citizenship (which they said I don’t need to) I don’t have the documents they needed for that. That’s why I am asking if I can still submit the documents I have here with me. And also getting a certificate of citizenship is too expensive. My sister already got her american passport when we applied together. They didn’t even ask for cert. of citizenship. Thank you

I got here in the states when I was 17 (still a minor) and my father is already a U.S citizen. I tried to apply for american passport last 2016 and I received a letter if I obtain my certificate of citizenship or if not I submit the following instruction such as a combination of school, tax, medical, or court documents that I am in my father’s physical and legally custody after I entered here in the states and before my 18th birthday. And second early public records issued at or near the time of my birth which shows my name and my parents name such as hospital, religious, medical or insurance records. Because the birth document I sent them was recorded more than one month after the birth occured. And if the early documents are unavailable, I may submit a DNA testing conducted by AABB testing facility. So my question is, I am applying again for american passport since my green card is expiring next year’ and I am not applying for a certificate of citizenship since they said I can use my father’s citizenship as a proof. And I found a document alongside with my birth certificate are the affidavit of paternity or the document about my late registration of birth with both of my parent’s signature. Is that enough proof that I am my father’s child? because when my mom gave birth to me my dad was here in the states and they got married a year after my birth. I also have legal documents such as affidavit of legitimation. Can I submit the documents I have here like my Dad’s Citizenship, my birth certificate with the documents of affidavit, and my green card? is that enough proof for me to get an american passport? Thank you, and hopefully I get a reply from you soon.
